New but old hand????

I was diagnosed with Primary Breast Cancer in May 2011 however was furher diagnosed a mere 10 months later after completing chemo and radiotherapy with Secondary Breast Cancer in my pelvis.  Further mets in liver and lungs however afer more chemo, etc. the tumours in my lungs have gone.

What I would like to say is that I still work part time however I am getting to the stage that more and more symptoms are preventing me from going to work and wondering whether to give up my work altogether......one thing is preventing me from doing this though, money.  I require to work to keep money coming in to the household however not sure about the benefits that you would be able to get and if I did qualify for anything (apart from DLA which I receive at the moment)....really tired of working now and sooooo want to give up!  Any ideas?
